Maybe it was all worth it.
Winter Soot is Wilbur's little sister. She fights for her country as hard as possible bit is held back by Wilbur trying to protect her. She won't let her brother stop her from figting and protecting what she loves. Even if...
I stared up at the podium, trying to ignore the laughter and shouts pressing into my ears. Schlatt glanced at me, a smirk growing on his face. He quickly turned his eyes back to the rest of the crowd.
"Oh, that was so easy!" my blood boiled but I couldn't bring attention to myself by walking away.
"Until further notice, Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit are merely a memory of L'Manberg. A relic of the past." no, they are so much more, you bastard.
"A reminder of the darkest era this country has ever seen. And I guarantee you all, dear citizens... Tonight, that changes. We are entering into a new period of L'Manburg, a period of prosperity! Of strength! Of unity!" Schlatt finished his speech and a weak applause came from the crowd.
I didn't applaud. I stood up and walked towards the walls. Schlatt continued speaking, but I didn't want to hear it.
I vaguely heard my name but just climbed the ladder to the top of the walls. I'd usually look away from my country but this time, I looked upon the land I'd fought so hard for.
A Wil and Tommy less land.
It finally sunk in. They were gone. Another tear rolled down my features.
They can't protect me. Or help me. My life is my responsibility now.
And so is this country.
And that day I vowed to uphold this country and what it stood for.
Even if it got me killed.
--time skip to after Schlatt changed the name and the walls were being taken down--
I looked on to the open land. No more walls.
I could see the whole SMP. The SMP that had caused pain for this country. The one that the walls were built to keep out.
My bed was now on the floor, right where it was before.
Tubbo had taken my place as Secretary of State but I didn't want the position anyway. Even in just a day, it felt like my home had become unrecognisable.
The flag had changed. Fundy had burnt it down. It had made a hole in my heart. I still loved him but that was too much. We weren't on speaking terms right now.
Schlatt had raised taxes on women.
Sexist assshole.
That was mostly Niki since I couldn't actually pay taxes. She had spoken out against him, so this is what happened.
He'd tried to order me to go and find Wilbur whilst Tubbo tried to find Tommy. I'd refused and sat on the walls. Then he ordered them to be taken down.
I knew it was probably to get at me.
Petty dickhead.
I sat on my bed, sighing. I looked out at the SMP. I stood back up and started walking around the perimeter of my country.
I occasionally looked out into the SMP. On one of these glances, I spotted Wilbur.
He wasn't wearing the L'Manburg uniform.
That was enough to push me to make the decision I'd been mulling over.
If he's not wearing it, neither am I.
I stepped into my house for the first time in weeks. A small layer of dust coated every surface.
I'd probably start sleeping in here again, but I was leaving my bed as a monument.
I pulled open one of my draws and flung my non-uniform clothing on the floor.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
My eyes drifted to my space buns. WIlbur had done them just before the election results.
I reached my hand up and tugged one free, my hair cascaded down to my shoulder blades. I pulled out the other and brushed my hand through my hair.
I knew what I had to do.
I opened the top draw of my vanity and pulled out the scissors.
snip.
I watched as my hair fell to the floor. I kept cutting until I was happy with what I'd done. I picked up my clothes and walked to my bathroom.
I opened the shower door and stepped in after discarding my clothing and placing my necklace beside the sink. I washed away all the dirt and hair on my body.
I turned off the taps and stepped out. I dried myself off and got dressed.
I stared in the mirror and knew what I was missing. I opened my jewelry box to see all the earrings and other piercing accessories.
I had gotten a few piercings when I lived with Techno. Man loved his piercings.
I'd taken them all out before I joined L'Manburg.
And now it's Manburg.
I slowly put all of the rings and studs in. I stared at myself in the mirror.
I was no longer the girl with space buns.
I was the girl who had watched my brother die in front of me, twice. The girl with secrets. The girl trained by the Blood God for seven years of her life.
This was who I was meant to be.
I walked out of my house and over to Niki's bakery.
